Degradation of cardiac troponin I in serum complicates comparisons of cardiac troponin I assays.
BACKGROUND Up to a 20-fold variation in serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentration may be observed for a given patient sample with different analytical methods. Because more limited variation is seen for control materials and for purified cTnI, we explored the possibility that cTnI was present in altered forms in serum. METHODS We used four recombinantly engineered cTnI fragments to study ...
متن کاملSerum Proteins and Biochemical Parameters in Cattle with Theileriosis
Theileriosis, caused by Theileria protozoa and infected by ticks, is a disease with high mortality rate. The most common species found in tropical and subtropical regions are T. annulata and T. parva. Theileriosis is often seen in cattle in the Eastern Anatolia Region, especially in the Van region. Clinical symptoms such as high fever, anaemia and haemoglobinuria are detected with this disease....
متن کاملSerum cardiac troponin I concentrations as a diagnostic aid of pericarditis in cattle
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a specific marker of myocardial damage, is widely used in man and of increasing importance in veterinary medicine. It is not commonly used in cattle practice although it might be useful as a diagnostic aid of pericarditis. Pericarditis is a common complication of traumatic reticuloperitonitis in cattle but clinical signs are non-specific and diagnostic aids are not re...
متن کاملSerum cardiac troponin I concentration in retired racing greyhounds.
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a polypeptide found specifically in cardiac muscle tissue that has been used as a diagnostic and prognostic indicator of cardiomyopathy. Increases in cTnI are associated with myocardial pathologic processes. However, high serum cTnI concentrations have been observed in normal Greyhounds. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that Greyhounds have cTnI concentration...
متن کاملSerum cardiac troponin I in canine syncope and seizures.
OBJECTIVE To determine if serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentration distinguishes between cardiogenic syncope and collapsing dogs presenting with either generalized epileptic seizures (both with and without cardiac disease) or vasovagal syncope. ANIMALS Seventy-nine prospectively recruited dogs, grouped according to aetiology of collapse: generalized epileptic seizures (group E), cardioge...
